The palm of your hand contains a tough layer of tissue called the palmar fascia. Dupuytren's contracture is a progressive condition in which there’s an abnormal thickening of this tissue at the base of your fingers. Over time this thickening under the skin can form a rope-like cord.
Dupuytren's surgical release is performed to relieve the tightening and inward bending of one or more fingers as a result of abnormal connective tissue (fascia) growth and thickening in the palm (Dupuytren's contracture).
Dysphagia means difficulty swallowing. This condition happens when food or liquids can’t pass easily from your child’s mouth into the throat, down the esophagus, and into the stomach when swallowing.
Dystonia is a disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions that cause slow repetitive movements or abnormal postures. The movements may be painful, and some individuals with dystonia may have a tremor or other neurologic features.
The elbow is a hinge joint between the lower end of the humerus bone in the upper arm and the upper end of the radius and ulnar bones in the lower arm. The arm is bent and rotated at the elbow by the biceps muscles in the upper arm. Ligaments located at the front, back, and sides of the elbow help stabilize the joint.
Elbow replacement is surgery to replace the damaged or diseased bones that make up the elbow joint with artificial parts (prostheses), typically made of metal and plastic.
Endocarditis is an inflammation of your heart's inner lining. The most common type, bacterial endocarditis, occurs when germs enter your heart. These germs come through your bloodstream from another part of your body, often your mouth. Bacterial endocarditis can damage your heart valves. If untreated, it can be life-threatening. It is rare in healthy hearts.
Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove precancerous cells and tissues from the lining (mucosa) of the gastrointestinal tract.
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove precancerous cells and tissues from the lining (mucosa) of the gastrointestinal tract.
Endovascular aortic repair is surgery to treat a weakened and enlarged area (aortic aneurysm) in the large blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the vital organs (aorta).
